On Mac it works just fine.

On Ubuntu 9.10 the text is not pasted into Mozilla Thunderbird, but only into this application (at least for me it works fine for Text Processor, Terminal, ...)

IMHO, this won't be a defect on NB side.
Comment 2 ulfzibis 2010-08-13 17:33:17 UTC
If I copy text from other application (here Windows Explorers's address line), paste works fine on Thunderbird's email composer's body.

Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2010-09-23 11:55:35 UTC
Works also for me in Ubuntu
Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2010-09-29 06:18:56 UTC
Interaction with mozilla is not ideal. But if it works with other programs, then there is not much we can do, I am afraid.

> Interaction with mozilla is not ideal.
... but besides other browsers IMHO it's the only app which matters here (copying the build info bug submit from).

> But if it works with other programs, then there is not much we can do, I am afraid.
I guess there is a spec about the clipboard interface, so IMO it should be clarified, which side is wrong ???
